Leadership

Every workplace requires teamwork in some way, in some cases the collaboration between members must be closer and therefore greater cohesion is required, in other cases the relationship occurs indirectly and should be strengthened rather communication strategies and leadership. To understand teamwork, it is necessary to first delve into three variables:

Common goal: there can be no true teamwork if there is no goal that all members share, sometimes this is more explicit and conscious, in other contexts, the goal is not clearly named but there is a goal that is being looking to reach.

Set of people: obviously it takes more than one person to create a team. It is important not to confuse teamwork with a work team, because on many occasions, although there are groups of people who share a task, there is not a union between them that allows them to be recognized as a team.

Organization: in all human dynamics there are different types of interactions, when a common goal is sought, some type of more or less structured organization is generated that divides the tasks or the steps to be carried out and that sets the tone for the work that is carried out in the set.

In one way or another, most people have participated in a team, it is enough to recognize that there has been a group of people who through a certain type of organization have worked for a common goal. But normally it is not usually analyzed how people perform when they work as a team. In the following link you can identify some of the ways to participate in a team.

Although the needs may vary depending on the conditions in which the work is carried out, there are several aspects to consider to improve the way in which a subject performs in a team:

Become aware of the common objective: sometimes a subject who participates in a team can carry out her work due to an obligation or a mandate, but until the objective is taken as a personal interest it is difficult for the performance to be the best because it Given this, it is important to ask why do I work with these people? What do I hope to get out of this job? What benefits do I get from working in a team? Why haven't I stopped doing this action?

Recognize the roles and tasks assigned: each person has skills that allow them to perform better in one area or another, based on that self-knowledge it is important to recognize in which tasks each one can develop better and take the initiative in the jobs that one can perform better. In the case of not having the possibility to change tasks, knowing what individual strengths or weaknesses are, work can be done aimed at improving performance in the corresponding area.

Increase group conscience: although many times the current trend is towards individualism and competition, group membership has benefits that cannot be compared with individual work because when it is possible to have a team that respects differences and strengthens with capacities of each member, becoming aware of the contribution that others make in personal growth and common goals, work flows naturally.

Maintain a clear organization: when a team fails to establish a series of clear rules or work in a disorderly way, the members are demotivated and the desire to work together is lost, therefore to a better organization, better performance. It is always important to define what the roles are, what corresponds to each one and in some cases, what are the consequences of not respecting these rules or failing to full fill the assigned tasks.

Use assertive communication: to avoid conflicts and improve the relationship between members, there must be assertive communication. You can learn more about this in our previous blog.
